The association between cardiovascular diseases and their subcategories with the severity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a large cross-sectional study based on a Chinese hospital population cohort

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

BackgroundCurrent evidence suggests that cardiovascular disease (CVD) plays a role in the progression of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, the relationship between CVD and the severity of COPD remains inadequately understood.

Predictors of first pass isolation of the pulmonary veins in real world ablations: An analysis of 2671 patients from the REAL?AF registry

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

We aim to determine the clinical and procedural predictors of pulmonary vein FPI. Conversely sleep apnea, elevated body mass index (BMI), diabetes mellitus, LA enlargement, antiarrhythmic drug use, and center's higher fluoroscopy use were related to reduced odds of FPI. Multivariate analysis showed that BMI > 30 (OR 0.78 [0.64–0.96])

Obesity in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: Insights from the REDUCE LAP?HF II trial

European Journal of Heart Failure

Patients with more severe obesity were more likely to have responder characteristics for atrial shunt therapy (fewer pacemakers and lower exercise pulmonary vascular resistance [PVR]). of patients had BMI ≥30 kg/m 2. Strain measurements in all four chambers were maintained as BMI increased. Overall, 60.9%

Association between asthma and cardiovascular disease: evidence from the national health and nutrition examination survey 1999–2018

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Asthma significantly increased the prevalence of stroke among participants aged 1844 years old, with a BMI 18.5029.99kg/m2, with low education levels, and with a PIR<1.00. Asthma also increased the prevalence of angina in females, non-Hispanic Blacks, participants aged 4559 years old, with a BMI30.00kg/m2, and with a PIR<1.00.

The relationship between different ventricular rate control levels and cardiac remodeling in early persistent atrial fibrillation: a prospective cohort study

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Further regression analysis indicated that body mass index (BMI) might be related to changes in LAD. Additionally, the use of digoxin could affect changes in left ventricular ejection fraction.
